No amount of Islamophobia, Racism, Xenophobia and Anti-Somali hate can stop Somalis from prospering. The most resilient people on earth.

The Ummah's shame!
Members of the Somaliland community of Toronto, Canada, danced with Israeli Consul General Idit Shamir to celebrate the Israeli-Somaliland friendship.
Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.
After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.
This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.
In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.
To Allah we belong, and to Allah we return.
Rest well with the other martyrs escaping an unjust world dear brother.
The criminal justice system is just criminal.
